Icon4 engine noise!i!i!i!

my acc. belt is squeeking(sp?). not all the time jus when it hits about 2500rpm. and only when in drive or reverse. assuming that means it slips under load. i have replaced the belt and it still squeeks. there is no abnormal signs of wear on either belt and i believe the tensioner is tight and is still good considering it was a bit** to get off. i also have tried belt dressing and didnt seem to work. anyone have this problem b4? any suggestions?

see on mine when it was sueaking i notice the belt was moving side to side on the tenioner while it was running so we dicided to get a new tensioner and belt and that fixed most of it. but we found out that the ac clutch or pullt on the end of the unit was very hard to turn so we took some decreaser and sprayed in there and it moves freely now
